The wedding of  a navy was quite awesome. There were full of protocol & discipline which took them well organized. Besides, the groom won't need to hire a custom. He could wear his uniform!

A typical Malay traditional wedding. Snapping around pelamin, then makan time and last but least a few outdoor memories. Simple and easy :-)

MALAYSIAN MOTO GP

Pengalaman merakam aksi bertaraf dunia memang mengasyikkan. Selain daripada mengasah kemahiran, saya merasa sangat seronok kerana dapat melakukan dua perkara yang saya suka; fotografi dan sukan bermotor, lebih-lebih lagi sukan bermotor itu adalah MotoGP.

Walau bagaimanapun, saya sedikit kecewa, kerana sebagai penonton yang membayar sejumlah wang untuk masuk ke litar, komposisi untuk merakam gambar agak terhad dan tidak sebaik gambar-gambar yang dirakam oleh petugas media yang mempunyai pas khas, lantas membolehkan mereka mencari 'port' yang lebih baik seperti mana yang disiarkan di majalah atau pun internet.

Saya teringin sekali merakam aksi mereka betul-betul di sebelah litar, sewaktu Valentino Rossi atau Casey Stooner sedang 'wheelie'.

 Date: June 28, 2010

Location: Dungun, Terengganu.

Dah pakai cantik-cantik, baju lawa-lawa, amatlah rugi jika  tidak shoot outdoor. Bukan selalu dapat melaram macam nie. Walau bagaimanapun, hanya pihak perempuan sahaja. Tak boleh ambik gambar dengan lelaki lagi sebab belum kahwin :-p Foto ini dirakamkan di Pantai Teluk Lipat, Dungun Terengganu sejurus selepas majlis pertunangan antara Jamilah & Kamal.

PREPARATION

Bigger is better. Click the picture

Untuk menjadikan sesebuah album perkahwinan itu seolah-olah satu pengkisahan, salah satu elemen yang perlu ada dalam album tersebut adalah rakaman persiapan pengantin itu sendiri, terutama pengantin perempuan. Walau bagaimana pun, ia bergantung kepada kerelaan  pengantin itu untuk berhadapan dengan jurugambar, dengan mengambil kira beberapa perkara seperti kemasukkan jurugambar ke bilik pengantin, pengantin yang masih belum siap berpakaian sepenuhnya dan isu-isu lain yang difikirkan sensitif oleh pihak pengantin perempuan.

Oleh itu, seseorang jurugambar harus meminta izin daripada pengantin itu sendiri, dengan persetujuan si suami sebelum gambarnya boleh dirakam.

WORD OF WISDOM

"Photography doesn't start when you get your camera out of your kit bag or look through the viewfinder; the process begins when you 'see' a potential shot."

FIRST TAG

Bigger is better. Click the picture

Menyingkap kenangan lalu ketika awal pembabitan dalam dunia DSLR, saya bersama beberapa orang rakan yang baru sahaja dikenali melalui sebuah forum fotografi, bersama-sama 'tag along' untuk satu majlis perkahwinan di Bandar Nusaputra, Puchong.

Ini adalah kali pertama saya tag along, demi untuk mencari sedikit pengetahuan dan kemahiran dalam dunia DSLR, selain menambah kenalan yang berkongsi minat yang sama.

Kepada jurugambar yang baru berjinak-jinak dalam dunia fotografi, andainya ada kesempatan, saya sarankan pergilah tag along bersama jurugambar lain yang lebih berpengalaman. Anda bukan sahaja mendapat ilmu dan kemahiran secara percuma, malah dapat melatih diri merakam fotografi perkahwinan sebelum memasuki pasaran secara lebih profesional.

WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

First of all, this is not a real wedding. They were just a model who acted like a couple of bride & groom, for the purpose of learning process.

I shot this picture during a wedding photography course organized by myfotozone at Putra Heights.

Unofficially, this picture has won the best picture of the day :-)

WEDDING: IZA & YUS

Bigger is better. Click the picture!

I shot this picture during Iza Azura & Yuskahiry wedding ceremony not so long time ago. Actually, the session almost been canceled due to heavy downpour until late in the evening.

Luckily, the rain stops before it’s getting dark. Thinking of this could be a moment of the lifetime, we immediately went to Pantai Teluk Lipat to shoot as many as we could. The couple were wearing a fully blue wedding attire which is almost similar with the color of the sky and sea. Thus, to add more contrast between the subject and the background, I used to transform the subject into gray scale mode, while maintaining the background as it is. Using the pop-up flash as my speed lite was out of power, it creates more brightness on the sand in front of me, which actually can be edited or cropped.

The session end 30 minutes later as it was totally dark!
